The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Demon World (3)

Afterward, the story Satan told him was truly shocking.

‘The Demon Lords who formed an alliance with Baal are divided?’

It was bound to be, as the Demon Lords allied with Baal were walking the path of self-destruction.

‘At this rate, I can invade without having to worry about anything, right?’

It was the perfect situation for Jung Minwoo, who was preparing for the throne.

‘With this luck, I might be able to receive Demonic Energy soon?’

If Katra were to die at the hands of the Demon Lords, the contract would transfer his Demonic Energy to Jung Minwoo.

‘Even if he survives the Demon Lords, his Demonic Energy will become mine anyway.’

No matter how capable one might be, no one could build a faction while being targeted by 50 Demon Lords.

‘I might be able to ascend to the throne easier than I thought.’

Seeing the 72nd ranked Demon Lord desperate to kill Katra, it was highly likely that he wouldn’t be properly prepared, making it easy to win the three proofs.

‘It was a good thing I came.’

The later he received this information, the more disadvantageous it would be, so he felt like he came at the perfect time.

With that thought, Jung Minwoo said,

“Thank you for the valuable information.”

He bowed his head to Satan, expressing his gratitude.

“What thanks? Of course I have to share information if I want to make you a Demon Lord.”

Satan shrugged, dismissing the gratitude as if it were nothing.

“By the way… This is almost like Masin-nim is pushing me to become a Demon Lord.”

“That’s right. An opportunity to build a faction without any obstacles is quite rare.”

Satan nodded in agreement with Jung Minwoo’s words.

Then, with a mischievous smile, he added,
T hi s w a s c o p i ed fr o m k i n gmtl . o r g

“You deserve to be criticized if you don’t become a Demon Lord with this. Don’t you think?”

Although he said it in a playful tone,

‘…Somehow, it doesn’t feel like a joke but his true feelings?’

To Jung Minwoo, it sounded like a warning to prepare himself if he failed to become a Demon Lord.

‘I need to work harder to avoid being criticized.’

Since becoming a Demon Lord was already a predetermined course, there wouldn’t be any criticism.

“I must become a Demon Lord to avoid being criticized.”

When he responded to Satan’s words playfully,

“This is why I can’t help but adore you.”

Satan smiled with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up.

“Now that you’ve figured out the situation, are you going back to planetary invasion?”

“I think so.”

“Really? I’ll see you off.”

“Before that, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask. May I?”

“What is it?”

Satan readily agreed, nodding his head at the request for another question.

“I want to know the 72nd ranked Demon Lord’s weakness.”

“Weakness?”

“Yes. If I exploit his weakness, wouldn’t it be easier to ascend to the throne?”

The information he had was already more than enough, but

‘If I know his weakness, I can resolve the situation more easily.’

He had no hobby of taking the long way when there was an easy path, so he intended to utilize everything he could.

“Weakness…”

Satan stroked his chin, lost in thought, then said,

“It’s not a weakness, but I do know one of his embarrassing secrets.”

He mentioned that he knew something similar.

“Embarrassing secret?”

At the word “secret,” Jung Minwoo’s eyes sparkled as he asked what it was.

“A few years ago, he failed to invade a planet he had been meticulously preparing for hundreds of years.”

“Hundreds of years… It must have been quite a large scale?”

“That’s right. The scale is about 1,000 times larger than Yurain planet.”
Th i s w a s co p ie d f ro m ki ng m t l . org

“That’s significant…”

“If it were just large in scale, he would have invaded it long ago. But one of the 1st Rank Pigeons interfered, and things got complicated.”

1st Rank, it was the same rank as Jung Minwoo, but

‘Pigeons have no ranks above that.’

It was a rank that had no higher level and possessed power comparable to a Demon Lord.

T h is wa s c o p i ed f r o m k i ngm tl . org
“He must have thought it wouldn’t work, so he tried to invade in his true form, but he was defeated by the Hero and driven out.”

As Satan continued, Jung Minwoo understood why it was considered an embarrassing secret.

Being defeated and driven out by a Higher Being, not even a 1st Rank Pigeon, would be humiliating.
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f ro m king m t l .or g

‘Even if he was defeated by the Hero, it doesn’t change the fact that it was a Higher Being.’

For an immortal demon, having a lifelong source of mockery was a terrible thing.

“So, I heard he’s been itching for another invasion.”

“I can see why. If he doesn’t invade, he’ll have to live with that humiliation forever.”

Listening to Satan’s story, a brilliant idea came to mind.

‘What if I invade first? That would make things interesting, wouldn’t it?’

That was it. To invade the planet before the 72nd ranked Demon Lord.

If he provoked him with this, the Demon Lord would lose his composure and attack him.

‘But I need to check if it’s worth it first.’

If the Pigeons had already completed the occupation, the restrictions on his power would be even stronger, so it would be better to give up.

“Has the occupation of that planet been completed?”

“No, it’s swarming with monsters and Demon Servants due to the remnants of the previous Demon Lord. It will take quite a while to occupy it.”

Satan shook his head in response to Jung Minwoo’s question.

Th i s wa s co p i e d f ro m k i n g mt l . o r g
‘Is that so…?’

Then, it was definitely worth invading.

“Why? Are you thinking of invading it?”

Satan asked with a sly look, as if he had read his mind.

“Yes, I think things would get quite interesting if I invaded.”

There was no need to hide his thoughts, so he answered Satan’s question affirmatively.

“The planet is quite attractive.”

As if agreeing that it wasn’t a bad choice, he approved of the idea and said,

“You’ll gain a tremendous amount of Demonic Energy, incomparable to before, just from the achievements of killing the Hero and clearing the remnants of the previous Demon Lord.”

He began to list the rewards that could be obtained from the planet.

“…That much?”

Jung Minwoo couldn’t hide his surprise at the unexpected rewards.

“Of course. If you add the rewards for the planetary invasion, you’ll surpass Andromalius in no time.”

T h i s w a s co pi e d f r om k i ng m t l . or g
As if that wasn’t the end, he mentioned the next reward.

‘…I definitely have to invade this.’

There was no guarantee of success, but it was more than worth the challenge.

“What’s the name of the planet?”

“The name… I think it was Groa?”

“Groa…”

Jung Minwoo took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote down the name of the planet.

‘I can’t just invade based on Satan’s words.’

He decided to take some time later to investigate the planet called Groa in detail.

‘I’ll have to move quickly to invade this planet as soon as possible.’

Just as he was thinking about how busy he would be in the future,

“When are you planning to invade?”

Satan asked about the Groa invasion schedule.

“I haven’t decided on the invasion schedule yet, but I’m planning to make Groa my ten thousandth planet to invade.”

“…Ten thousandth?”

At Satan’s question,

“That’s the number of planets I’m going to invade.”

He declared that his goal was to invade ten thousand planets.

“Wow, you really are something else, aren’t you?”

Satan clapped his hands in admiration.

“You flatter me.”

“Flattery? You’re probably the only one who’s trying to invade ten thousand planets at 1st Rank.”

“It’s all thanks to the VIP card that Demon Lord-nim gave me.”

“Still, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s amazing.”

Jung Minwoo scratched his head at the compliment.

“Then, I’ll be taking my leave.”

“I’ll see you off to the Portal Station.”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo was escorted by Satan back to Liger planet.

Upon arriving on Liger planet, he headed to the meeting room of Hammer Kingdom.

“Minwoo-nim, you’re here?”

As always, Venus greeted him with a bright smile.

And the other Demon Communion members,

“Ughhhh…”

“…Groan…”

“…Froggy, Froggy.”

They were lying face down on the table, groaning as if they didn’t even have the energy to greet him.

‘…They look pretty serious?’

Jung Minwoo asked about the Demon Communion members’ condition with a slightly worried tone.

“Don’t worry, they’re fine. They’re just a bit tired.”

Venus replied that there was no problem.

“…Really?”

He couldn’t imagine her lying, but he was a little doubtful and used Mind’s Eye on the Demon Communion members.

【Venus is… a real demon. Seriously, a demon?】

【…She didn’t have to push us this hard.】

【I miss the days when Minwoo used to push us around. Ribbit, ribbit.】

Letters formed above their heads, materializing their thoughts into text.

‘If they’re looking for me, how hard did she push them?’

As he continued reading their thoughts, he found out that she had made them work non-stop for 20 days.

‘Even demons would have a hard time working without rest…?’

Even though they had bodies that didn’t need sleep, it didn’t mean they didn’t need rest.

‘I need to talk to Venus about this.’

He was about to tell her not to push them too hard because at this rate, the Demon Communion members wouldn’t live long, when

“Minwoo-nim, here you go.”

Venus handed him three documents.

“What are these?”

“Planet lists.”

“Did you decide where to visit first?”

He asked as he accepted the documents.

“No. I narrowed it down to three after carefully selecting from hundreds of thousands of documents over the past 20 days.”

“Narrowed it down…?”

“Yes. I thought it would be more efficient to narrow it down like this instead of going through all the planets.”

She answered that she had narrowed it down to three, not just locations to visit.

“You meticulously selected all that in just 20 days…?”

He had expected her to simply categorize the planet lists, but he hadn’t anticipated that she would go through the trouble of narrowing them down.

As he stared at Venus with an incredulous expression,

“I worked hard to be helpful to Minwoo-nim.”
T h is w as c o p ie d f r o m ki ng m t l . o r g

Venus lowered her head shyly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

A picturesque scene.

With her blushing face, she exuded a pure beauty, like cherry blossoms in full bloom.

‘…Right. I need to push them like this sometimes.’

Thinking about it again, it wasn’t like she was always pushing them, and it was only occasionally, so it seemed unnecessary to say anything.

“Can you explain the planets you selected?”
T h i s w as co p i e d from ki n gm t l .o r g

“Of course.”

Venus began to explain the planets in the order they were listed in the documents.

“The first planet has…”

A lengthy explanation followed, but to summarize, it was like this:

The first planet: Dragons.

The second planet: Vampires.

The third planet: Liches.

She hadn’t selected them carelessly, as they were all races with high racial values.

‘I hope there’s someone useful among them.’

If he couldn’t find anyone useful among them, he would have to go through the trouble of searching through hundreds of thousands of planet lists again.

‘Dragons…’

Jung Minwoo pondered, staring intently at the first document.

‘According to the encyclopedia, they’re a race with transcendental power.’

If what was written was true, they would be a considerable asset.

However, they would only become an asset if he could corrupt them, so it would be meaningless if he couldn’t.

‘I want to go see the dragons right away, but…’

Looking at the Demon Communion members’ condition, it didn’t seem like a good choice to depart right now.

‘If I tell them we’re leaving now, they’ll collapse and foam at the mouth.’

Just as he was contemplating whether it would be better to rest for a few days,

“Minwoo-nim, shall we start preparing for departure right away?”

Venus asked with an eager look on her face.

Flinch—

The Demon Communion members, who had become one with the table, trembled at Venus’s words.

“Hmm…”

Jung Minwoo glanced at the Demon Communion members and said,

“Wouldn’t it be better to depart tomorrow?”

He suggested departing the next day, but

Tremble, tremble, tremble—

“No, I think it would be better to depart in a week.”

Seeing the Demon Communion members trembling, he quickly changed his words.

A week seemed acceptable, as a sense of relief washed over the Demon Communion members’ faces.

“A week? Isn’t that too late?”

Venus expressed some disappointment, but

“We need to let them rest.”

“If that’s what Minwoo-nim wants, then I understand.”
Th i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m ki n g m t l . o rg

Venus nodded in agreement, accepting Jung Minwoo’s persuasion.

After resting for a week, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members set off for the planet inhabited by dragons.
